Yee-Haw Cowgirl Cookies for a Bridal Shower

My friend, Suzette, asked me if I would do cowgirl cookies for a bridal shower she was hosting. The only problem, I wasn't allowed to use pink! Mean huh ;-) She gave me a cowgirl bandana that they were using as the theme colors. It was a dark teal. She also said she trusted my judgement and wanted bridal shower type of cookies and cowgirl type of cookies and I could RUN WITH IT. Don't you just love hearing that! So it was time to play.

So I made a bunch of bridal shower type of cookies

and then I made a bunch of cowgirl fun specialty drawn cookies

I just love how the cowgirls turned out. These are from clipart that I purchased from PeachPoPsClipArt etsy shop. Melissa and Melinda have such fun artwork!

and more western gals

and more cowgirl stuff

Then I took my cowboy cutter from CopperGifts.com and made her into a girl. Thanks to my daughter, Mellissa, for helping me to envision a skirt and making her girly.

I had SOOO much fun with these cowgirls!

I tried giving her hair too, but the face is so small on my cowboy that there really wasn't enough room and I liked the ones without hair coming out of the cowboy hat better. Sorry for the bad photos. I'm still learning and it was a BAD photo day.
